InfoPath Dev

I have read through the user guide and reviewed the answers I found to my query on a search of the Microsoft - support pages for Infopath and still I do not seem to be able to configure the form I am creating to work with the logic I am looking to achieve. Can anyone help? I am creating a form that will allow the user to complete a skills ...

 Unfortunately, no such control exists. You could use a hyperlink control - but your user will need to know how to get the hyperlink for the file....

 Add a data connection that submits to email - I like to use form fields for the To, Cc, Subject and so forth for greater flexibility. Then add a rule to submit to the email data connection. Or you could use workflow - when an item is created or modified, check the field's value & send email?

 You'll have to use code for this (or qRules, which has a command for this). Here is a post that may help you: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/826992/how-to-use-wildcard-characters-in-an-infopath-form-query-when-binding-to-an-ado-data-source 

Hi Hilary, Thank you for your advice and support.  Based on your information, I created a new view to close/exit the form via a button.  If the condition:  field1 != field2 then switch to the close form view (which displays a Close form button) enabling the user to close and exit the InfoPath form. Again, Thanks ...

Wonderful, glad you have it working. :)

Had to mess with the Xpath a little to figure it out, but that works PERFECTLY! Thanks, Hilary!

Hi there, I have an InfoPath Webform that is a travel request form with a repeating table. Each table is a flight request (name, departure city, date etc). The goal of the travel request form is for a user to submit a single form with multiple flight requests. The problem however is that there isn't a nice way to pull the ...

Add a rule on your button that sets CurrentRecordNumber to the count of preceding siblings for the row that matches on part number. Simple sample attached, save the file locally, right click and select design then preview.
